Hey guys, I'm updating some of the profile art on the TF Wiki and I need your help. I need decent to good quality scans of the profile art inside the Takara G1 collection book-type reissues. You know, the profile art of the characters on those white pull-out binder pages inside the flap of the box.
Can anybody help me?

I'd help but I have no scanners. I can take pics and then upload them but thats not exactly good quality, I guess. Plus, I've only got a few of the TFC boxes. Of course that's a situation I'm trying to remedy but that's neither here nor there. Lemme know, I've got Kup and Ricochet

Mmm... sounds interesting but it's a lot to do. I might be able to help out in some way but it may take some time. Do you have like a priority list or will any of them do?
*sigh* There are so many things wrong with TF wiki... (-_-)

This isn't the place to bag out TF Wikia (or anywhere else).
FFN, I have a scanner and many of the boxes. I'll drop you an email later tonight.

Yeah, here's the problem: I don't actually know which profiles are included with each character (other than what is obvious).
Since these reissues came with profiles for characters other than the actual
reissued toy, I'd appreciate it if you guys would take a quick look and tell
me which profiles are included. For example, I need Red Alert's profile art,
he was never reissued as part of this series by Takara, but his profile was
included with one of the other reissues. I just don't know which one.
Also, anybody who did this art? We at the wiki are compelled to credit the artists where possible, if known. I know Hirofumi Ichikawa did most of the external box art whenever there wasn't a piece by Pat Lee that Takara could reuse, and that guy who did the Kiss Players art (ugh) did the Kup and Wheelie set box art... but I don't recognise the style of the interior profile art.

Took me about 15 minutes to find the list I did up way back at the time they were being released. Pity the end of that series stopped the filecards from being released as well, as they had a lot of interesting pics and info in them.
01 - Meister, Convoy.
02 - Prowl, Megatron.
03 - Skids, Sludge.
04 - Tracks, Reflector.
05 - Smokescreen, Kickback.
06 - Omega Supreme, Longhaul.
07 - Lambor, Buzzsaw.
00 - Adams, Laserwave.
08 - Bumble, Alert, Inferno.
09 - Blitzwing, Starscream
10 - Condor, Soundwave.
11 - Poweglide, Jaguar, Astrotrain.
12 - Warpath, Gears, Drag.
13 - Metroplex, (TM) Hot Rodimus, Thundercracker.
14 - Ultra Magnus, Hound.
15 - Stepper, Razorclaw.
16 - Shrapnel, Bombshell.
17 - Predaking, Blitzwing (yes, it was included twice).
18 - Dinosaurer, Frenzy, Soundblaster.
19 - Wheeljack, Perceptor.
20 - Wheelie, Chear, Skywarp.
21 - Steeljaw, Broadcast.

14 - Hound

If there are any left on your list that the others don't have to scan for you, I should be able to have some time tomorrow to do it for you.
Have been working 7 days a week for the last few weeks, which hasn't left me much time to keep up with things here recently.

I've just scanned all of mine (C, check your email)... the only one "left" from the list would now be 05 Smokescreen.
